At risk update:

Closed early 2021 by the elderly owner/licensee who continues to live on the premises. The Council's planning enforcement team has been informed but has not yet investigated. Update December 2023 - the former licensee has sadly died but we believe that his widow still lives there. Update November 2024 - the pub has been put up for sale with a guide price of just £25k.

This Pub is Closed Long Term

UPDATE - MAY 2021

Its been reported that the owners have decided to retire and have shut the pub, although they still live in the building.

An archetypal small, unspoilt back-street Victorian local with three little rooms, divided by a drinking corridor. The main bar is on the right of the entrance; not only is there no real ale, there is no cash register, so change is given from a pile of coins on the back of the bar. To the front left of the entrance is the lounge,often bedecked in floral displays, whilst behind it is a small games room containing a dart board. There is an extant off sales hatch in the corridor, where children are still welcome to purchase sweets and crisps. Grade II listed and very much like stepping back in time.

Three star - A pub interior of outstanding national historic importance

Listed status: II

This pub has been closed for some years but, following the death of the former licensee, has been put up for sale. What the future holds remains to be seen.

An archetypal small, unspoilt back-street Victorian local with three little rooms. In northern towns and cities, hundreds if not thousands of such working-class pubs once existed but only a handful are still with us.

 A passageway runs from the front door with, on its left, a partly-glazed partition and two small rooms - a lounge at the front and a games room at the back, both with original fixed seating and 1950s tiled fireplaces. Opposite the games room is a hatch with a sliding window. The public bar on the right has an etched window inscribed 'Vaults' and original bar-back shelves, counter and fixed seating. The bar top and tiled fireplace are, however, later arrivals. 

General information about historic pub interiors

Archetypical small unspoilt back-street Victorian local hidden away amongst terraced housing. In the same family since 1939 it has three small rooms and is barely altered. In northern industrial towns and cities there were hundreds of pubs like this at one time but there now are only a handful still remaining. A passageway runs from the front door to the living quarters at the rear. On the left side is a partly glazed partition wall and two small rooms – opposite the rear room is the off-sales hatch with an intact rising sash window and a Formica top from the 1960s. On the front left is the small lounge with an old baffle by the door, original fixed seating all around the room, a classic 1950/60s tiled fireplace with a gas fire in front, lots of Britannia tables and an etched window with the word 'Room', the ‘Smoke’ having been lost. At the rear left is the games room with a modern tiled floor, original fixed seating with leatherette covering from the 1960s, and another classic 1950/60s tiled fireplace with a Canon Gas Miser fire. The door has a button on which the number has been painted over.

The tiny narrow public bar on the right has one 'Vaults' etched window (another is lost), original bar back shelves and lower cabinet, bar counter and fixed seating but the Formica bar top and tiled and wood surround fireplace come from the 1960s and tiled floor is new. You will usually find a band of faithful regulars sitting and chatting. The old gas mantle by the servery was last used about 30 years ago. Historically, pubs were exclusively for men drinking together and there was therefore no need for a ladies toilet. However, as ladies started to use pubs provision had to be made for them. The outside gents' are still in use (they have been upgraded) and the ladies' here is a conversion of the former back kitchen, which took place in post-war times. Opens at 7.30 ('But might be later if something good on the TV' says Sid 'when it might be later'.) Closes at 10pm Thursday evening – Sid’s early night to bed! Closed Mon to Sat lunchtimes; Sunday 12.30 to 3.30.
